How to treat tinnitus caused by inverted eardrum?

Inverted eardrums can easily cause tinnitus and hearing loss, which can be improved by pinching the nose and puffing up. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to whether there is a blockage of the eustachian tube or the cause of a cold, which needs to be checked in time, and can be diagnosed by otolaryngology, and tinnitus can be assisted by oral Tongqi deafness pills**. The presence of infection can also be anti-infective**, and otitis media can be treated with topical ear drops.

This needs to be caused by which reason, you can choose to do it through the way of backbone, and you can also use some infusion methods to remove some inflammation, so the specific method should be determined according to the results of the test, and there is no need to be nervous in this regard. If there is otitis media or a bacterial infection, it is also necessary to do an anti-infection**, and neurological tinnitus can also be carried out by oral medication**. Patients have tinnitus because of tympanic membrane inversion, generally due to changes in the pressure in the middle ear cavity, sometimes because of tympanic membrane congestion and inflammation caused by invagination, ** can be dropped in the ear with ofloxacin ear drops to reduce inflammation, observe the changes in the condition, after the inflammation subsides, the situation of the tympanic membrane invagination will be improved to a certain extent, and the tinnitus will also improve, you can also add roxithromycin capsules, so that the inflammation will subside faster.

Patients can also try to pinch the nose or go to the hospital otolaryngology clinic to perform eustachian tube blowing**, which can also effectively restore the collapsed tympanic membrane to normal conditions, it is recommended to avoid colds during the ** period, because the increase in nasal discharge will aggravate the patient's tympanic membrane inversion, and at the same time, water must be avoided in the ear canal when washing hair and bathing.

Invagination of the tympanic membrane refers to the state in which the normal structure of the eardrum is changed because the outside air cannot enter the middle ear, the original gas of the middle ear cavity is gradually absorbed, and a relative negative pressure will be formed in the cavity, which changes the normal structure of the eardrum. The clinical symptoms of an inverted tympanic membrane are a decrease in hearing and discomfort in the ear.

1. What are the hazards of invaginated eardrum:

1. Invagination of the eardrum, if it develops deeper and deeper, will lead to perforation of the eardrum, which is very easy to cause otitis media.

2. Invagination of the tympanic membrane will reduce the reflex area of the sound and the tympanic membrane. Absorption of sound waves from the outside world is impaired, resulting in hearing loss.

3. Once the tympanic membrane inversion is aggravated, it is likely to lead to cholesteatoma otitis media. The patient's bones will be eroded, leading to facial nerve palsy, brain abscess and other intracranial and extracranial complications, and even life-threatening.

2. What are the best methods of tympanic membrane inversion:

1. After the patient has clarified the specific condition of his tympanic membrane invagination, he can cooperate with the hospital to carry out the treatment of acute secretory otitis media. Pathogen removal should be performed with ear washing, followed by local pressure relief to promote recovery.

2. In addition, acupuncture can be used to improve local blood flow and make lymphatic fluid reflux.

3. Secondly, take the puff ** and correct it. Patients are advised to go to the hospital for endoscopic ear microscopy. Correction is then made according to the specific doctor's recommendation. If you operate it at home, it is easy to cause the eardrum to rupture due to improper strength.

Tinnitus caused by eardrum perforation, first of all, it is necessary to clarify that this tinnitus is caused by tympanic membrane perforation, and the tympanic membrane patch test can be done, that is, a thin cotton sheet is applied to the surface of the eardrum perforation, and the tinnitus symptoms can be effectively improved, and the hearing can also be restored.

Surgery is the only method, before the operation, we must improve the CT examination of the ear to determine whether the middle ear and inner ear are involved with lesions, whether the ossicular chain is complete, whether there is cholesteatoma, etc., now they are all carried out under the otoendoscopy, which is a minimally invasive method. The material of the surgical patch is usually autologous cartilage or fascia, and there is no rejection reaction. After the surgery, you must stay in bed as much as possible, it is not recommended to pinch your nose, close your mouth, and puff up too early, as it may cause damage to the incision material.

You can do more swallowing movements to increase the chance of the Eustachian tube opening and relieve the feeling of fullness in the ear after surgery.

Different types of tympanic membrane perforation present differently. Most patients present with symptoms such as ear pain, tinnitus, ear congestion, and hearing loss. However, a small percentage of patients do not feel anything, or just feel a little uncomfortable in their ears.

Some people blow their nose and feel air leaking out of their ear canals.

What are the typical symptoms of tympanic membrane perforation?

Generally, patients present with symptoms such as earache, ear tightness, tinnitus, and hearing loss. Some patients with small perforations may not show any symptoms of tympanic membrane perforation, but only feel a slight discomfort in the ear, or they may hear a leaking sound in the ear canal when blowing their nose, sometimes even loud enough to be heard by someone next to them.

**Symptoms may vary in patients with tympanic membrane perforation.

Otitis media Perforation of the tympanic membrane: The patient has ear pain that decreases after the piercing, and pus or clear fluid may flow out of the ear.

Traumatic tympanic membrane perforation: At the moment of perforation, patients often suddenly experience a sharp pain in the ear, with immediate hearing loss accompanied by tinnitus, but may not feel anything after the perforation. If there is a small amount of bleeding in the ear canal, there may be a feeling of congestion in the ear.

What are the possible symptoms of tympanic membrane perforation?

In addition to eardrum rupture, some pressure injuries can cause damage to the inner ear due to strenuous movement of the stapes, which can be accompanied by symptoms such as vertigo, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and mixed hearing loss.

The surface of the eardrum is shallow funnel-shaped, and when the eardrum is invaginated, the eardrum sinks in the direction of the middle ear.

The reason why the tympanic membrane is inward is caused by an imbalance in the air pressure inside and outside the eardrum. In the nasopharynx, there is a tube that opens downward, backward, and outward, and the other end opens in the anterior wall of the tympanic membrane, and this tube is called the eustachian tube. Its role is to communicate the tympanic cavity with the nasopharynx, so that the atmospheric pressure of the tympanic cavity and the external auditory canal is equal to maintain the equalization of the tympanic membrane pressure.

If you have serous otitis media, known as catarrhal otitis media, it can lead to dysfunction of the eustachian tube, which imbalances the atmospheric pressure inside and outside the eardrum. In this way, due to the atmospheric pressure from the direction of the external auditory canal, the tympanic membrane will become inverted over time. In addition, rhinitis, pharyngitis or cold nasal congestion can cause Eustachian tube disorders and imbalance the pressure inside and outside the eardrum.

Therefore, keeping the eustachian tube open is key to preventing the tympanic membrane from invagination.

Invagination of the tympanic membrane should be symptomatic**. If you have catarrhal otitis media or rhinitis, you should be cured of these diseases first. The second is to take the puff ** to correct it.

It is recommended that you go to the hospital for an ear microendoscopy and then treat the symptoms on a case-by-case basis**.

The main causes of tympanic membrane inversion are congenital, Eustachian tube dysfunction, local middle ear infection, and barotrauma.

The tympanic membrane is an oval, translucent membrane between the tympanic chamber of the middle ear and the external auditory canal, slightly concave inward, and shallow infundibum-shaped. Invagination of the tympanic membrane means that when the eustachian tube is dysfunctional, the air from the outside cannot enter the middle ear, and the original gas in the middle ear cavity is gradually absorbed, and a relative negative pressure is formed in the cavity, which changes the normal structure of the eardrum. Clinical manifestations include ear swelling, tinnitus, hearing loss, and enhanced self-hearing.

The cause of invagination of the tympanic membrane is due to an imbalance in the air pressure inside and outside the eardrum. The main reasons for this are as follows:

1) Congenital. It is usually symmetrical tympanic membrane inversion in both ears.

2) Eustachian tube dysfunction. The role of the Eustachian tube is to communicate the tympanic chamber with the nasopharynx, so that the tympanic cavity and the atmospheric pressure of the external auditory canal are equal. Eustachian tube dysfunction can lead to invagination of the eardrum.

3) Local infection of the middle ear. During otitis media, there is negative pressure in the tympanic chamber, and fluid in the tympanic cavity causes an imbalance in the atmospheric pressure between the tympanic chamber and the external auditory canal, causing the tympanic membrane to invert.

4) Barotrauma. Diving or other experience of working under high pressure can cause the eardrum to become inverted.

There is a possibility that the tympanic membrane is invaginated, which can be heard when the tympanic membrane is displaced, and most people, not everyone, are generally mildly reduced, and the sound impedance audiometry and otoendoscopy are neuropathic tinnitus.
